HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE SPECIFICATIONS FOR SINAPSE SIMULATORS

Our simulators can be used with a PC or a MAC(1), running under Windows environment. with 1, 2 or 3 screens, according to the configuration

If only one screen is hooked up, the user switches between the press console and the print copy screen : when the print copy screen is selected, it occupies the entire monitor until the user asks to return to the press console/print unit view.

If there are two screens hooked up simultaneously, the user sees the press console and print units on one monitor, and the print copy on the second monitor.

When using the double screen configuration, the mouse will move automatically from one monitor to the next : when it reaches the edge of one screen, it will appear on the other one.

Note : The single screen configuration uses only standard microcomputer hardware available from any manufacturer of PCs. The double screen configuration requires a special dual-display graphics card (see below).
